After The Charismatic Beauty Was Coveted By A Gloomy Monster - Chapter 5

The castle dining room was dimly lit, with exquisite pastries arranged on the French round table. The desserts looked just like culinary molds from the last century; the solidified cream on the surface made one completely lose their appetite.

It was glaringly obvious that a certain snake did not like these breakfasts either.

Yu Ying walked into the kitchen and tied on an apron. “Do you want to eat the nutritious meal I make?”

Sui Lin sat elegantly in a chair, picked up a knife and fork, and expressionlessly speared a piece of cake. The moment it entered her mouth, the cream melted, tasting completely as bland as chewing wax.

She used a silk handkerchief to block her red lips as she spat out the dessert.

How could humans make such terrible-tasting food?! If she hadn’t been mindful of the filming, Sui Lin’s snake tail would have crushed all the pastries to pieces.

Sui Lin stood up and walked into the kitchen. Copying Yu Ying, she took off an apron and tied it around her waist. “My mother taught me how to cook.”

She carried a natural sense of aloofness, automatically maintaining a distance from Yu Ying when she spoke.

Yu Ying stood to the side, watching Sui Lin cook.

Sui Lin tore open a corn cob and washed it under the running water. She held the knife backward, pointing the sharp blade right at her own palm.

“Let me do it.” Yu Ying snatched the kitchen knife from Sui Lin’s hand, cutting the corn into small pieces and tossing them into the water.

She gripped the kitchen knife to give Sui Lin a demonstration. “Don’t point the blade at your palm.”

Sui Lin disdained to answer Yu Ying; she flicked her snake tail with irritation.

In her eyes, humans were fragile, insignificant creatures, and there was no need for her to listen to a human’s words. If there was anyone who could make Sui Lin obediently listen, that person would definitely be her mother.

Seeing that Sui Lin was spaced out, Yu Ying asked once more, “Did you hear me?”

“Yeah,” Sui Lin answered instinctively.

Her mind was filled with the bits and pieces of her life with her mother. When her mother left the nest to hunt alone, Sui Lin had blown up the kitchen trying to cook for her. She turned into a little gray snake, slithering into the stove while crying as she lit the fire.

When her mother returned, she didn’t blame her; she held her and bandaged her wounds. How could a cryptid monster feel pain? She had suffered injuries thousands and tens of thousands of times worse than that.

But in her mother’s eyes, a cut finger was a big deal, a cold and fever was a big deal, and not eating properly was also a big deal.

Her mother liked to teach her how to make human delicacies, and Sui Lin liked to be with her mother. No matter what they did, she always found it interesting.

“Teacher Sui Lin, are you listening to me speak?” Seeing Sui Lin zoning out, Yu Ying asked again.

“Yeah,” Sui Lin answered perfunctorily.

Yu Ying prepared a simple, nutritious breakfast, arranging sweet potatoes, eggs, and corn on a white plate. She took out a fresh corn cob and personally peeled a whole plate of corn kernels.

Sui Lin only needed one glance to know that Yu Ying was preparing breakfast for that stupid snake. When she was still a little snake, her mother also liked to personally peel corn kernels for her.

She was so jealous inside that she was going crazy. Her snake tail coiled around Yu Ying’s ankle, her hard scales scraping against Yu Ying’s skin.

Why be jealous of an ordinary little snake? It doesn’t have the right to make you feel this way, nor does it have the right to be compared to you.

Sui Lin suppressed the raging fire in her heart and carried the food Yu Ying had prepared for her to the dining table. She pulled out a chair, gripping her knife and fork to stab into the food.

Go die, go die, go die.

The fork crushed the egg, mixing the white and yolk together. She wished that little snake would drop dead, so she could snatch its position and replace it.

Good Lord, what on earth was she thinking? She was a beautiful, warm-hearted snake; how could she harbor such malicious thoughts? This was not like her mother at all.

She had torn apart the game’s black hole to find her mother, not to fight over jealousy with a little snake kept by a human.

Yu Ying didn’t notice the shift in Sui Lin’s emotions. The little snake wrapped around her waist slithered up to the back of her hand.

“Eat, Xiao Xue,” Yu Ying said, pushing the plate forward.

The little snake coiled at the edge of the plate, using its head to gather all the corn kernels together. It opened its mouth wide and took a huge bite. The sweet aroma of the corn spread in its mouth, and what made it even better was that these were corn kernels personally peeled by its mother.

It wagged its snake tail excitedly and ate the corn kernels. Yu Ying pinched a kernel between her fingertips to feed the little snake.

The little snake extended its slender, forked red tongue, licking the back of Yu Ying’s hand.

Sui Lin gripped the knife and fork in her palm, a jealous fire swirling in her eyes. She pretended to casually spear a piece of corn and brought it to her red lips.

A black-and-white printed tablecloth draped over the round table, preventing anyone from spying underneath. Sui Lin’s snake tail quietly slid over to Yu Ying’s leg.

The tip of the tail behaved like a cat rubbing against someone, brushing back and forth against Yu Ying’s ankle. Sui Lin’s scales were stiff, and her underbelly wasn’t as soft as the little snake’s, but she used her snake tail to rub against Yu Ying’s calf.

Half-closing her eyes, she took a satisfied bite of a cherry tomato. The juice exploded in her mouth, making her lips appear even more vibrant.

Having eaten and drunk its fill, the little snake lay on the back of Yu Ying’s hand, hooking its tail around the tablecloth to peek underneath.

That stinky snake was seducing its mother again. The little snake let out a hissing sound to draw Yu Ying’s attention. Yu Ying didn’t even need to lift the tablecloth to know that a certain snake was using its tail to rub against her ankle.

The piercingly cold sensation was impossible for Yu Ying to ignore. Crossing her long legs, Yu Ying ruthlessly stepped right onto the belly of the snake tail. The thick snake tail struggled and thrashed beneath her shoe heel.

The scales on Sui Lin’s snake tail flared up in an instinctive reaction. She tightly gripped her knife and fork, staring at Yu Ying with a cold, stern face.

So good, so good, so good…

The snake tail wrapped around Yu Ying’s calf, slithering up toward the space between her thighs. Realizing that a certain snake might actually be deriving pleasure from this, Yu Ying uncrossed her legs and fiercely kicked the belly of the snake tail.

Ha. Sui Lin let out a breath. It felt so good that her entire body went weak, and a layer of hot sweat broke out on her, casting a flush over her fair cheeks.

With a clatter, the knife and fork fell from Sui Lin’s hands. On camera, her glamorous face was flushed with a faint pink, looking like a freshly peeled lychee.

Inside the live-stream chatroom of the romance reality show, the bullet comments rolled frantically:

【I never expected this pair could be so ship-worthy?!】

【Was that just now what I think it was? Under-the-table play】

【Ahhh, so stimulating! The younger top getting stepped on feels so good, so good】

【Why is Teacher Sui Lin sweating? It’s so hard to guess】

【Everyone look closely, the pajamas Teacher Sui Lin is wearing were worn by Yu Ying before! Didn’t they sleep in the same room last night?!】

Yu Ying finished her breakfast, wiped her lips clean with a silk handkerchief, and lifted her eyes to look at Sui Lin. Sui Lin looked as if she were suppressed by some kind of bloodline authority, not daring to entangle herself any further.

Sui Lin leaned back against her chair. Her fingers, resting on the back of the seat, trembled slightly with a pinkish hue at the tips—clear proof that she was still reminiscing about the pleasurable sensation from just now.

Yu Ying found it difficult to stay in the same space as Sui Lin; the feeling of being stared at by an insidious monster occupied her brain. The little snake hissed at Sui Lin, then climbed onto Yu Ying’s wrist to act as an ornament.

Sui Lin brushed aside her long silver hair, letting the strands slip through her fingers. She stared coldly at Yu Ying’s retreating back, watching Yu Ying flee like prey running for its life.

Her lips were forever that vibrant red, as if she needed to drink the blood of some animal to maintain her ageless appearance. A snake tongue darted out from the seam of her lips, licking her bright red mouth.

Perhaps, before those other two idiots tore open the game space, she could reach some sort of deal with Yu Ying.

A certain malicious snake hatched a wicked idea in her heart. She could be certain of one thing now: before finding her mother, she craved the scent on Yu Ying’s body exceptionally more.

That scent drove her near madness, and her blood clamored, wanting to merge completely with her mother’s scent.
